You must have watched last year’s telecast if you were wondering how Martin Trainer and Chad Ramey ended up at the top of the Zurich Classic’s final-round leaderboard.
“Technical difficulties” at the Zurich Classic on Sunday prevented the show from airing, first during its window on Golf Channel and then when it was scheduled to switch to CBS.
Golf Channel’s coverage of the PGA Tour Champions’ Mitsubishi Electric began early, and the show ended with roughly 30 minutes remaining in its broadcast window. Additionally, the 2024 final round was screened when CBS’s coverage started, with the following banner at the bottom.
“DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, YOU ARE VIEWING THE ZURICH CLASSIC OF NEW ORLEANS’ 2024 FINAL ROUND COVERAGE.” However, the problem is currently being addressed.
There are technical issues with the Zurich Classic of New Orleans’ final-round broadcast. The problem is being worked on right now.
Due to inclement weather, play was halted during the broadcast blackout at 2:42 p.m. local time. This may have been a welcome break for the tournament’s television coverage, but it was definitely bad news for those who would be attending in person.
Ben Griffin and Andrew Novak led by three strokes going into the final round; at 29 under par, their advantage remained three at the start of the weather delay. Frankie Capan III and Jake Knapp finished in solo second place at 26 under. Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy, the pre-tournament favourites and reigning champions, were 23 under.
What about that broadcast in 2024? We won’t give away the conclusion in case you’re still watching.
